Bristol Postage Dues - part 2

Some more postage dues from Bristol, starting with a postcard from Canada that was only franked at the 1c domestic postcard rate (=½d) so incurred 1d postage due.  Note that the stamp was on the picture side.  The UK probably had a bilateral agreement with Canada (or the British Empire countries) that permitted stamps on the picture side.

The postcard below from the USA was franked at the correct international postcard rate but was treated as a letter because it was a divided postcard and the USA did not authorise these for use until the 1906 Rome UPU convention came into force on 1st October 1907.

Two postcards that had glitter on the picture side so were liable to the letter rate.

Until the implementation of the 1906 Rome UPU convention on 1st October 1907, stamps had to be on the address side of postcards (UNLESS the two countries concerned had a separate bilateral agreement - see the earlier Canada example).  This postcard from France had the stamp on the wrong side so was treated as a letter and charged 3d postage due ... BUT the stamp has been removed - if this was done at the time the postcard should probably have been treated as an unfranked postcard and only been liable for 2d postage due !

This postcard was franked at the correct international rate but had glitter on the picture side so was treated as a letter and thus liable to 3d postage due.
